But as you can see at the end of the article, other providers are considering/using ARM more.
- marmaduke 6y agoI tried ARM on Scaleway and the main benefit was network capacity. Performance was not so good.
- bklyn11201 6y agoSeems like they were just too early and didn't have the capability of an AWS-scale company to work directly with ARM? It seems like the first-gen of Graviton wasn't great, but then they seem to have made huge leaps with Graviton2. https://pages.awscloud.com/rs/112-TZM-766/images/2020_0501-CMP_Slide-Deck.pdf https://pages.awscloud.com/rs/112-TZM-766/images/2020_0501-C...
- neurostimulant 6y agoHmm, I was trying to rent some arm servers on scaleway but they were always out of stock. The article mentioned difficulties operating those servers reliably and they can't just buy hardware from different vendor because there is no other vendor that sells arm server at that moment (pretty much only thunderx server was available for purchase). Maybe things will be different this time and a bunch of new arm server vendors would show up due to renewed interest in arm servers.
